“My poetry is the world.” Guided by this conviction, Herman de Vries travelled throughout Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, India, Nepal, and Southeast Asia during the 1970s, exploring Eastern philosophy and investigating non-hierarchical forms of communication and concrete poetry through diverse writing systems, languages, and dialects, including Malayalam, Kannada, and Tamil. Printed by Mally Crafts in Mahé, India, on Nepalese paper, this slender booklet comprises a randomised arrangement of letters from the Malayalam alphabet. V 71-194 S, random structured semiotic field anticipated de Vries’s nomadic publishing project, The Temporary Travelling Press, which he further conceptualised during his stay in Kathmandu in 1974.
